Wait... are you attempting to argue that each SC2 game will only be a few hundred megs? They're talking about amount of content, not megabytes on disk.

Dimmukane:
Yeah, I'm a little confused by that statement.  I can see all the Warcrafts being on DVD (not WoW), and Diablo's plus Starcraft and expansions on another, but certainly not Starcraft 2.  All 3 would take at least 2, just judging from the art I've seen in the screenshots.

Guys, this will just be the single player aspect of the game that is split obviously.
Not just that, but the three parts will be treated less like separate games and more like expansion packs. The Terran campaign will come with the full game, while the Zerg and Protoss campaigns will both be released as expansion campaigns more in the line of Frozen Throne, so there will be huge campaigns. From reading about what they have in-store for the Terran campaign, what with controlling Raynor as you walk him around his ship and all, I think that this could potentially, in the end, create a more awesome game.
I know my optimism is extant, don't criticize me Brian. I just love Starcraft too much for negativity, until it comes out.

This is definitely a case of download first buy later. If the campaigns is as awesome as the ones in Starcraft 1, this is a buy. But still, the game has to be really fucking fun for me to play all of the races. I mean, if all of them are as long as the traditional RTS. But the game play is supposed to be set up in other ways for the races, so maybe. I'm looking forward to this.

Yeah, after reading the whole article it doesn't really seem like such a bad idea. I really liked the original starcraft campaigns and wish they'd been longer than they were. Now, with over 30 missions for each race it sounds like it could be pretty fuckin' sweet. And anyway, the multiplayer is all intact so right out of the first box you'll be able to play all 3 races online, which is an important reminder. And then the other expansion packs, which is what I'm going to call them even though you can play the campaigns stand-alone, will have extra units and stuff for multiplayer, or that's what they made it sound like. And since they aren't all going to be released at once, in fact it says a year apart at least, its not like you'd be shelling out 150 bucks all at once, if the other two even cost the same price as the first one.
